Legislation and regulations regarding the financing of the own home has considerably changed since 2013. This means that the loan you take out with your own company must meet several requirements. As of 1 January 2013, it is mandatory, among other things, to repay loans for the own home on at least an annuity basis, unless you are subject to the transitional law.

- Determining the applicable legislation and regulations for determining the maximum maturity of your loan and the maximum owner-occupied home debt in case of refinancing the loan
